calls attention to the many instances
of remarkable longevity which from

than in any recent period. During the
last three or four months of the venr
the general public became familiar
through a perusal of the daily papers
with the remarkable obituaries of
those who had departed, having lived
to a great old age. A month or so
since we read of a life thut had reached
the extraordinary limit of one hundred
and thirty-five years. We have since
read of the death of a woman at Hart
ford, Conn., who was old enough to
give warning of the approach of tlie
llritish fleet in 1812, and so saved the
New England coast from threatened
devastation. And still later we have
been apprised of the death at Terre
naute, Ind., of a man 104 vears old
who attended the funeral of" Washing
ton, cast, nis nrst vote for Madison and
was a soldier in the war of 1812. 1 rom
other data it is apparent that great
longevity nas Deeu on the increase for
muny years, particularly in America.
Hut it may be remarked that the
constitutions that carried these per
sons up to the centennial mark or be
yond were formed very many years be
fore Americans began living at the
present rate, and that the best part of
most of those old lives was passed be
fore the modern suicidal rush of t he so
ciety and business worlds. To have a
good chance for longevity it is almost
unnecessary to say that an originally
good constitution is of tlie first im
portance, though to this primary ex
cellence carefulness in the art of living
must be added. The secret of long life
is one of which nature alone holds pos
session. A remarkable fact is that in
tellectual activity and success have
been no barriers to long life. Even
deep philosophical studies have proved
a help rather than a hindrance to men
of literary pursuits. Voltaire, who at
birth was put into a quart pot, could
never have attained his eiirhtv-fourth
year had he not followed the strict,
sober, active life'-'ii"h h fW r.,.
stone exercises the highest powers of
successful statesmanship at an age of
eighty-four years, after having under
gone the constant turmoil of political
contest for considerably more than
half a century. Histnark is practically
an octogenarian. Von Moltke was
nearing ninety when he died. It Reems
that tiie review of these and numerous
other instances would sufficiently es-
larnisn the theory that continuous in
tellectual activity is conducive to the
perpetuation of good health and the
prolongation of life.
LOST HIS RED BUTTON.
le Former Chinese Minister to This
Country Degraded In Rank.
In a telegram from Tekin, published
by the Chinese Mail, it is said that an
imperial edict lias been issued an
nouncing the degradation of Tsui Kwo
Yui, the former Chinese minister to
the United States, Spain and l'eru.
from the post of "Tso Shu Tsze"
senior deputy supervisor of instruction
to that of "Chung Wan" under secre
taryship of the llanlin college as well
as tiie deprivation of the red button of
second rank, which he had been hon
ored bv the Hmrb. rnr r,n Mliw .au.n .f
his being accredited to tlie courts of the
United States. Spain and l'eru.
The issue of this edict has been the
result of Yui's incompetency in the dis-
charge of the duties of "Tso Shu Tsze,"
as well as of his failure in passing the ,
recent special examination for promo-
tion among the members of the Hanli
college. This special examination was
instituted at the instance of the board
of censors with a view to classifying
the members of the llanlin college and
to investigate their special conduct,
and also for the purpose of recommand
ing promotion. Consequently the per
sons examined have, after due exaini n
ation, been divided into three classes.
Those of the first two classes have
either received their promotion or ap
propriate imperial rewards of silk
pieces, but Tsui Kwo Yui, who
stands first in the third class, has lost,
his red button, and has suffered the
above-mentioned degradation in his
ofiicial rank. j
VENERABLE PENSIONERS.
Thirteen widows of Kerolutlonary Heroes
Still Draw Pay from the Government.
' An interesting study on the subject
of longevity is furnished by some of
our pension lists. The most note.
worthy, according to the Pittsburgh
Dispatch, is that part comprisinir
u . . . .. r
the
survivors of the war of
1812.
Of the cightv-six American
soldiers
and sailors who took nnrt.
in that memorable struggle who were
still in the land of the living on June
30, 1Ki3, fifteen were centcnariaiit,
namely: David H. Aite, Jerseyville,
111.; Zephanfah Kaoon. Patten a
Y.; William S. Dennis. Katont.r,
Oa.; Andrew Franklin, Burlington,
Kan., and Anion Hoot, Whitewater,
VU., each of whom was exactly 100
J age; ltosea Hrrwn, Drain, Ore.,
and Milea Scmnton, Merrill, N. U-,
"ere 101; Austin Atehison, Spencer- '
port, N. Y., and Nathaniel Whitney,
Franklin, 111, were 102; David McCoy,
Redland, Col., and Nathaniel Smith,
Hempsted, N. Y., were 103; John
Sherer, East Paris, Mich., and John
Dawson, Terre Haute, Ind., were 104;
John W. Ireland, Ilamptonville, N. C,
was 105, and'John Downey, Allen Fac
tory, Ala., 1(H).
The list of widows of revolutinnarv
soldiers forms another interesting nnrt,
i iK-utuon statistics. Although tlie wnr
tlmt Ku-e us independence ended over
111 y"rs a(fo, no less than 13 widows
ot tlie continental forces are still draw-
mp a stipenil from the government. Of
these the oldest are L,ovev Aldrirh.
Aancy" must have been a favorite
name in the old days, No less than
three of the widows answer to it.
"Mary" wasnthe next in favor, there
being two of that name, and one each
called Lovey, Sarah, Esther, Kebecca,
Patty, Meridy, Asenath and Frances.
Assuming that any one of tlie women
may live to be a hundred years of age,
.v ln puBKioiu mat tne united States
government may be paving out pen
sions to the widows of revolutionary
soldiers twenty-five years from now.
B'or the same reason, widows of veter
ans of the late war may be living in
Antiquity of Asparagus,
Asparagus, deservedly a favorite
vegetable, was extensively cultivated
by the ancient Romans, but wns not
introduced into England before HMO.
u auuie purui oi nurope tne seeils ore
used as a substitute for coffee, and a
spirituous liquor is niude from the ripe
berries. Asparagus is both lithic and
diuretic, and its roots were once exten
sively used in medicine. The young
tnaer sprouts or stems, from six to ten
inches long, are the edible parts, and
those that are entirely green are the
most tender and delicate. The white
asparagus is, as a rule, very tough, the
tips alone being eatable. In some old
recipe books directions are given for
boiling asparagus one hour, but this is
a great mistake. Twenty or thirty
minutes is long enough to eook it suf
ficiently. A Heroic Medlrul lOipcrlmeiit.
A German pathological journal re
cords a recent experiment of llrs.
Sawtschenko and Sobolotny which
seems to border on tlie heroic. They
vaccinated themselves with a prepara
tion made from cultures of tlie cholera
bacillus, and afterward swallowed vir
ulent cholera germs with entire impu
nity. Then, with serum from their
own blood, tliev inoculated trninna
pigs, and found that those animals
could thus be protected against chol
era. Usually it is the guinea pig who
has first to face the chances of life or
death in experiments of this kind, but
in tins case the doctors were so sure
they were right that they shouldered
the risk themselves.
A Wonderful Violin.
David Johnson, of Alliance, ()., has in
his possession probably the oldest vio
lin in America. The instrument has
been a family relic for many years,
having been tlie prox-rty of Johnson's
father, Ellis N. Johnson, the centen
arian who died a few years ago. The
violin is a very handsome piece of
woodwork, the rim uround it having
been cut from thick wood and richly
carved. On the stem is carved a bust
of one of the old-time masters. On the
back, in inlaid work, is a design repre
senting one of the ancient towns of
Italy, while the keys are mounted
with pearls. The instrument has a
very rich, deep tone, but cannot be
tuned to any of the violins now manu
factured. It is almost an exact coun
terpart of the famous Moji-tta violin,
and has been handled by some of the
finest musicians of the land. Armiml

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
Height of a Chimney Increased Without
"topping Factory Work.
A remarkable feat has been recently
accomplished at the Itonsecour spin
ning works at Nancy, says Industries
and Iron, namely.increasing the height
of a chimney about one hundred feet
high by about thirty feet, without stop
ping the work for a single day.
Owing to the power being increased,
the existing chimney did not have suf
ficient draught for the existing num
ber of boilers, ami one of two altera
tions had to be faced cither tn build
a newchimney alongside the old one, or
to increase the height of the latter.
Augustus Ilartling, of licrubcrg (An
halt), offered to increase the height of
the old chimney without interfering
with the work of the mills.
Aided by another man, whose agil
ity and nerve were equal to his own,
Mr. liartling fixed a series of liifht
stel ladders to tlie chimney by means
"' iron l'ookl driven i between the
u I. - ,,
u,m hi nii; m ii-Kft, eiecven a pilll"y
at the top of the chimney and a flight
of scaffolding all round, and then hav-
ing lowered the cornice surmounting
the chimney, they built on to the top at
the rale of about four to Ave feet per
day.
Thcwhola work occupied eight days,
and was perfectly successful. While
this is the first chimney dealt with in
this manner in i'runce, Mr. Jiartling
states that he has carried out similar
operations in (icrmany, at the chemical
at Thann, and 'tthe works at the Mul-

torr. During the early years of the present
century one Joshua Dillaplanes came
to eastern Ohio from Pennsylvania and
settled on five hundred acres of ground
mat now constitutes a portion of Han
over and St. Clair townships. The land
was clothed in a rich growth of primeval
forest, watered by a rivulet now known
as the Two-mile. On the west bank of
this stream grew a majestic sycamore
that towered many feet above its am
bitious companions. The tree Dillu
planes discovered to be hollow, and it
is said that the settler took up his
abode m the hollow and began clear
ing the land which now constitutes
representative farms of the Miami
valley. In the meantime, savs tlie
Cincinnati Enquirer, a family named
Mustard, soon followed by another
named O'Malley, settled near the vicin

IMSOMNIA PARTIES THE LATEST.
A lluffalo Ilelle's Caique Plan of Wooing
the Drowsy God.
A society young woman of lluffalo
has devised a novel entertainment,
which is shortly to be made public It
is to be a reception for people who
can't sleep at night. Among her
friends, says the Medical Iteeord, are a
great many delightful people who are
troubled with insomnia, and who con
fess that they spend many frightful,
wakeful hours walking the floor, look
ing out of the window, rocking in ea.' y
chairs, trying to read or write and in
other useless and tiresome occupations.
When her plans are fully matured this
original young women intends, on at
least two nights in every week, to be
at home to tfiose distressed female
friends from midnight until morning.
The guests are requested to appear in
any unique, respectable bedroom gown,
bath robes not excluded; the lights are
to be dim, nothing music and stupid
conversation will be the only diver
sions permitted, hot chocolate anil
light wafers will be served, couches
and easy chairs will be provided in
abundance, and the insomnia victims
are earnestly desired to fall asleep as
soon as possible. It is whispered that
prizes will be offered for the first snore,
but this detail is not authentically an
nounced. The reception is to be a
fact, however, and an eager expec
tancy as to invitations is in the, air.

CHICAGO'S FISH SUPPLY.
How It la Affected by the Flaan.
olal Stringency.
Hard Times Have Caused the People to
Economise on Their Moat Bills
Where the Flsb Are Prln.
clpally Obtalnsd.
The report of a shortage of 12,000,000
bushels in the oyster crop of Chesa
peake bay does not disturb the equa
nimity of the Chicago dealers.
"Our business is mostly in fish this
winter," one of them declares. "Hard
times have caused people to econo
mize on high-priced oysters and meats
and turn to fish as the staple food.
Fish are very cheap and plentiful.
Chicago eats 20,000,000 pounds of lain?
fish and 5,000,000 pounds of ocean fish
annually. The lake fish were caught
and frozen last fall, and so long as
they remain in ice continue as fresh as
when taken from the water. How
ever, if anyone demands a newly
caught fish, the Mackinaw fishermen
are sending down choice trout daily
taken from the straits.
"As to oysters, the crop of Haiti
more and New York might totally fail
without embarrassing the public in
the least or raising the price of the
bivalve.
"The Gulf of Mexico produces fully
as fine flavored oysters as are taken
anywhere. Many people like the gulf
oyster best. New Orleans could easily
supply the world with oysters, as its
coast environment is enormously pro
lific in oysters, delicious crustaceans,
and fishes. These gulf edibles are
sent north in refrigerator cars which
have conveyed dressed beef south.
They also come by express. The fail
ure of the fish and oyster crop would
be a great boon to the gulf coast
trade." "' ' "
The fishmonger mentioned that tho
Pacific codfish had invaded the Chi
cago market to the detriment of the
Maine-Massachusetts' namesake. There
is no difference in the appearance of
the rivals, but epicures think the Pa
cific cod the choicer. The Pacific cod
is now shipped to Massachusetts, salted
and sent out as Atlantic cod. No one
can tell the difference.
A popular fish in Chicago is the red
snapper taken In the (itilf of Mexico,
and called by many the gulf cod. It is
a handsomer fish than the cod and of
much finer flavor, barge fleets engage
in the catch of this fish and it is forc
ing its way into all the markets of the
World.
Brook trout weighing from two to
five pounds are plentiful in the local
markets. They come from private fish
ponds where they were taken out and
frozen last fall.
The finest yellow perch are taken in
the Detroit river at the St. Clair Flats.
Muscallonge reach the market from
the interior lakes of Wisconsin.
1 he lake trout vanes In color, both
of skin and flesh. The flesh is yellow
from the southern to the northern
waters of Lake Superior. In the
northwest corner of Lake Superior the
flesh becomes red and the skin a fac
simile of the brook trout. This latter
variety, which is the finest of trout, is
believed by some to ho a brook trout
from the Nipigon river, which in times
past left the stream and bred a deep
water variety of itself. It is scarce in
the local market. There Is a suspicion
that the local dealer sells it as a large
brook trout.
Eels mostly come from Fulton, N. Y..
where, on tho Oswego river, is the
largest eel industry in the world.
Ocean fish are not popular in the
west, nor are lake fish popular in the
cast. The condition is natural.
Crawfish come from New Orleans.
where they are the staple food of the
French people. The crawfish makes
the most delicious bisque known to the
epicure.
A good story is told about a transac
tion in pigeons in which a crafty dealer
overreached himself. A Philadelphia
man went to a dealer to purchase a
dozen homing pigeons, and was both
surprised and delighted at the ex
tremely low price asked for the birds.
The bargain was finally concluded, and
the pigeons delivered. Two weeks
later the gentlemun hanpeu.d to be
passing, when the dealer stopped hlin
and asked how the birds were getting
on. "I don't know," replied the gen
tleman. "I have not ytst heard from
my friend." "Your friend?" "Yes; I
bought them for a man in San Fran
cisco." The dealer's jaw fell in dismay,
and then, with a rueful laugh, ho ad
mitted that ho had sold the birds so
cheaply because he knew that on bc-
ng released they would immediately
return to their old home. But from
San Franciscol It was a clear case of
the biter being bit.
